The Kaladjians' home was severely damaged by a landslide apparently caused by illegal dumping of construction waste above Bakinskaya Street, in Veseloe, Sochi. Environmental experts believe the nature of the waste strongly suggests it is from buildings demolished to make way for Olympic construction. The house is too dangerous to live in, but the family has not received any form of compensation. The family refused the authorities' offer of temporary resettlement to dormitory-style accommodations in a large apartment block, which they feel is not appropriate for their family of eight.
